Chapter 78: Yunshui Palace Opens

"I'm sorry. There is really nothing I can do about this matter. I have a feeling that a breakthrough is imminent. I will need to go out to look for opportunities within two years, and I will not be able to guard Liuli Island for a long time."

Yunshui Tiangong will open in more than a year, and Li Fan will definitely not miss the opportunity to enter it first just for the sake of his small contribution to guarding it.

So he could only reject He Zhenghao outright.

"That's it, then I can only find someone else. I also wish fellow Taoist friends an early foundation!" He Zhenghao replied regretfully.

No more messages came from the communication talisman.

Li Fan didn't care and spent his contribution points to activate the auxiliary practice mode.

He began to practice the "Ruying Ying Xing Jue".

After all, it is only an auxiliary skill, and the practice of "Shadow and Shadow Jue" is much simpler than the other two skills.

With the double bonus of Qi Ling and Linglong Glazed Beads, it only took Li Fan less than ten days to reach the advanced stage of Qi refining.

At this moment, Li Fan is experimenting with the effects of "Like a Shadow".

He used 100 contribution points to simulate a chase battle with a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining in the Tianxuan Mirror.

The surrounding space transformed into a series of mountains.

In the mountain forest, a figure quickly fled into the distance.

That’s setting goals to chase.

Looking at the other person's back getting further and further away, Li Fan thought and his figure suddenly darkened.

It seemed to be covered with a dark veil, and it was even more difficult to detect under the shadows everywhere.

The other party was about to completely disappear from sight, Li Fan accelerated suddenly and flew to keep up.

Compared with the simple flying in the wind before, Li Fan's speed has been greatly improved now.

There is a deeper connection with the target of pursuit.

The increase in the opponent's speed also accelerated Li Fan's speed to a certain extent.

It was really as if Li Fan had become the other person's shadow, making him unable to get rid of him.

It can also continuously jump through the shadows on the ground.

In this way, it didn't take long for Li Fan to catch up with the figure in front of him.

The surrounding scene blurred for a while, and the illusion of mountains, rivers and monks disappeared at the same time.

It turned back into a dark space again.

After the chase ended, Li Fan was still very satisfied with "Ruyingyingjue".

By itself, its effect of concealing aura is quite good, and if it is paired with a hidden talisman, it will be even less likely to be noticed.

Although Sikong Yi is a bit mysterious, his cultivation should be in the late stage of Qi refining.

I had prepared so much in advance, and I just calculated it mentally but not intentionally.

Planning "Clouds and Waters" should not be a big problem.

Now that everything is ready, all we have to do is wait for the information from Jiao Xiuyuan to come and the Yunshui Heavenly Palace to be officially opened.

In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan's eyes were dim and he stared into the distance.

…

Two months later, Wanxian Island, Qianli Hall.

Li Fan, who received the message from Jiao Xiuyuan, hurried over after activating the hidden talisman.

When he met Jiao Xiuyuan, he pretended to be angry: "What do you do in Qianli Hall? You are just a small Qi Refining monk, and it took you so long to find out the information. I thought you had forgotten about this matter and were going to find someone else to handle it. Woolen cloth!"

Jiao Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed, but he quickly grabbed Li Fan and followed the belt to open the store's formation to isolate it from outside prying eyes.

Then he explained in a low voice: "Please keep your voice down! There is a reason for the delay for so long."

"Huh?" Li Fan's expression moved slightly, waiting for the next step.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the difficulty of this mission is beyond my expectation. The fifty contribution points agreed with you last time was really too little! You know, I asked you to do this this time A senior who was in the late stage of foundation building helped to get it done..." Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan longingly, his meaning obvious.

"What, you want to break the contract?" Li Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiao Xiuyuan with an unkind expression.

Jiao Xiuyuan touched his head: "Can you add more..."

Li Fan turned around and wanted to leave.

Jiao Xiuyuan was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "Oh, my dear, my life is really unlucky! Two consecutive orders were made at a loss."

"Okay, okay! Just do as promised, fifty is fifty!" He gritted his teeth and said.

"Here, plus the previous deposit, it is exactly 50 contribution points." Li Fan said coldly, throwing four medium-grade spiritual stones over.

"It's easy for me to earn your money." Jiao Xiuyuan said with a grimace, catching the spirit stone, and then handed a jade slip to Li Fan.

Li Fan took the jade slip and examined it with his spiritual consciousness, with a strange look on his face.

Then he put away the jade slips and left.

Looking at Li Fan's retreating back, Jiao Xiuyuan's original flattering expression suddenly disappeared.

He stroked the spirit stone in his hand and sneered.

"One is mysterious and of unknown origin; the other is shady and has ulterior motives."

"I want to see what you two are going to do."

…

In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan carefully read the contents of the jade slip again before finally destroying the jade slip.

"Two people?"

Li Fan frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a little troubled.

It turned out that according to the intelligence collected by Jiao Xiuyuan, Sikong Yi lived in seclusion and rarely showed up.

He also has a good friend named Bai Lichen, who is also a male monk.

This Baili Chen is slightly weaker and is in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Sikong Yi and Bai Lichen seemed to have a very good relationship. Every time they went out for action, the two always stayed together and were inseparable.

Moreover, the two seemed to know some kind of combined attack technique.

When killing the enemy, they cooperate seamlessly, and their hearts are connected, just like one person.

These two usually stay in Wanxian Island. Except for completing tasks to accumulate contribution points, they usually do not go out.

However, during Jiao Xiuyuan's investigation, these two people disappeared inexplicably once.

After leaving Wanxian Island, they lost their traces and no one knew where they went.

"Who is this Baili Chen? Why don't I have any impression of him?" Li Fan thought carefully and did not find any information about Baili Chen from his memory.

"It seems that this person should have fallen in the ruins of Yunshui Tiangong."

"However, I didn't expect that there would be one more cultivator to target. My current preparations seem to be insufficient."

"Fortunately, there is still a lot of time."

Thoughts surged in his mind, and Li Fan began to plan again.

...

One year later.

Anchored for eleven years, in the central sea area of ​​Congyun Sea.

The thunderstorm that had been brewing for several months in the sky continued to roar.

The thick vortex clouds had been dyed black, slowly rotating, and constantly accumulating strength.

The clouds were like high walls, guarding the center of the vortex.

There, there were blue lights flashing continuously.

With each flash, this central sea area seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

This abnormality naturally attracted many cultivators.

There were even rumors that an ancient sect relic would soon appear here.

So, in the past few months, more and more cultivators gathered here.

Li Fan was naturally among them.

He swept his eyes across the crowd and paused at Sikong Yi and Baili Chen without leaving a trace.

Then, he saw Jiao Xiuyuan's figure again.

Jiao Xiuyuan stared at the vortex clouds in the sky, looking quite excited.

"This person probably thought he had encountered an opportunity and could take advantage of something."

"Little did he know that he was just seeking his own death."

A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

Thanks to the book friend Sanren Xiemu for the reward. Thank you for your support!
